The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 818 Dark Guard
They lived like this for another ten years.

In the past ten years, Xiao Ze has become the number one person around the prince. Wherever the prince goes, he is there.

Xiao Ze no longer had time to sleep in his bed, and the prince could not leave him for a moment.

Zhang Tianxing became the leader of the secret guards and took orders directly from the prince.

He has no ambitions. He takes on tasks when there are tasks and rests when there are no tasks. Xiao Ze and Tian Xing verbally scolded him for being lazy, but in fact they knew in their hearts that he didn't want to fight.

None of the three married or had children.

He and Zhang Tian were traveling in the dark, and they could not marry and have children without breaking away from their status as secret guards.

Xiao Zeming, he could, but he didn't want to.

The reason was that the Xiao family saw that he had great potential and wanted to use him to form a marriage.

Once a man gives birth to children, he has a weakness. Xiao Ze's status around the prince is very important, and it can even be said that a single move affects the whole body.

As long as the prince did not ascend to the throne, he would not allow himself to have any weaknesses.

"The three of us have agreed that when we grow old one day, we will ask the prince to let them go and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in seclusion."

Lu Da: "Drink wine every day, bask in the sun, and spend the rest of your life leisurely. The body of the one who dies last will be collected by the one who died first."

"Will the prince let you go?" Zhu Qing suddenly interrupted.

"I don't know about other masters, but he will definitely do it. This is one of the reasons why the three of us are loyal to him. He is..."

Lu Da glanced at Yan Sanhe: "That's all, he has been buried for so many years, there is no point in talking about it anymore."

Yan Sanhe knew that he was caring about him, so he diverted the conversation away, "You were sent to Lu Shi later?"

Lu Da: "He asked me to go. I was reluctant to leave Xiao Ze and Tian Xing. He gave me one night to think about it."

That night, both Xiao Ze and Tian Xing came.

Xiao Ze said: "Idiot, His Highness is letting you go in disguise. When you come to Mr. Lu's side, you can marry a wife, have children, and live a normal life. Are the three of you really going to be single?"

Tian Xing said, "It's actually a good thing to be able to travel all over the world with Mr. Lu and no longer have to be trapped in the Prince's Mansion. What a wealth of experience."

Seeing that he was still silent, Xiao Ze calmed down and said, "Your Highness is in a bad situation. If anything happens, you can collect a body for us in the future."

Tian Xing: "You can't put all your eggs in one basket."

The words spoke to his heart.

No one in the world knows the prince's situation better than the three of them. They must be prepared not only for ten thousand things, but also for one thing.

He nodded: "OK!"

I thought that after following Mr. Lu, it would be more difficult to meet.

So the three of them agreed that every year on His Highness's birthday, they would find a way to meet each other, have a drink, chat, or have a fight.

He left the Prince's Mansion on a rainy morning.

After walking two streets, I saw Xiao Ze holding an umbrella at the corner; walking a few dozen feet further, I saw Zhang Tianxing standing under the eaves.

This is their way of saying goodbye to their good brother.

"After I met Mr. Lu, he gave me this name. I didn't say it with my mouth, but I cursed it in my heart. When I first came to Mr. Lu, he and I didn't get used to each other, and we disliked each other."

He used to sleep during the day and work at night. After more than [-] years, he suddenly got up and went to bed like a normal person, feeling uncomfortable all over his body.

In addition, Mr. Lu talks less than he does. The two of them often look at each other without saying a word.

After half a year of getting along, the two gradually got along well.

Every year for His Highness's birthday, he would try his best to return to Beijing to keep the appointment.

They made an appointment in the small courtyard that Xiao Ze had set up in the capital, bought some good vegetables from outside, took out the good wine that had been hidden for a year, and the three of them drank and chatted.

Let’s talk about His Highness’s affairs first, then the imperial court’s affairs, and finally our respective affairs.

When the words were almost finished, they would make gestures and fists. If one of them failed in his skills, the other two would scold him together.I don’t dare to get drunk, I can only get tipsy.

Even so, this day is the happiest day of the year in mainland China.

The sky was slightly bright, and the three of them clasped their fists and returned to their original positions, looking forward to seeing each other next year.

Yan Sanhe: "These days lasted until the eighth year of Yonghe."

Lu Da closed his eyes: "Yes!"

In July of the eighth year of Yonghe.

Mr. Lu left Beijing and went to Quanzhou in the south to investigate the flood.

As soon as he got up on July [-], his left eyelid started to twitch, and he always felt that something was about to happen.

The secret guard's intuition is generally very good, especially when it comes to danger. He vaguely sensed that something must have happened in the capital.

And it's not trivial.

The strange thing is that Mr. Lu was also a little restless in those days, and he kept waking up at night.

The master and servant discussed it and decided to finish the matter and return to the capital as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, before he left for Beijing, he learned that the prince had rebelled, was defeated and committed suicide.

He was so shocked that his heart burst.

The prince raised an army, and both his and her secret guards would go into battle. The newspaper reported that the prince's party had been wiped out, which meant that both Xiao Ze and Tian Xing were gone.

That day, he was furious at Lu Shi.

He wanted to return to Beijing immediately, and Lu Shifei had to wait until the matters at hand were over before leaving.

For the first time in his life, he roared at the top of his lungs, "My master is gone, my brother is gone, and I have become a lonely ghost."

"What are you going to do now? Collect their bodies for them? Are there any bodies left?
Is your master someone who would start a rebellion?Why did he rebel?Who forced him to rebel?Is there something we don't know about here? "

A deep fine line formed between Lu Shi's brows.

"Lu Da, impulsiveness can't solve any problems. Don't forget, he is also my master."

After hearing this, he was stunned for a long time, squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands and cried silently.

Lu Shi knelt down in front of him and put his hand on his shoulder: "You have never told me about your brother. Everyone is dead now. Tell me."

He spent half the night talking about every detail of the three of them for more than 20 years.

After Lu Shi listened, he spent the rest of the night talking about his time in the Tang family, talking about Chu Yanting, and said that this kid might also go.

That night, the master and servant had a complete heart-to-heart.

"It was already the end of October when I returned to the capital. It was very cold. I didn't go to the Prince's Mansion. My old friends were all gone. What else was there to see?
The prince's birthday is on December 26th. As usual, the three of us have to have a drink. I prepared some paper money and good wine and went to Xiao Ze's house at night. "

Lu Da took a deep breath: "I don't want to meet someone over there who should be in the underworld."

Li Buyan: "Who?"

Lu Da: "Zhang Tianxing!"

Li Buyan was surprised: "He's not dead?"

Lu Da: "Not dead."

Li Buyan: "Why didn't you die?"

Lu Da glanced at Yan Sanhe with his peripheral vision, and he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"Because just before the prince raised his troops, he was ordered to send a newborn baby to the Zheng family and protect her for the rest of her life."
